Everyone dispersed and prepared for the third level. Luo Zhang didn't stay here too long. He also found a place to rest. Compared to the worries of others, Luo Zhang felt relaxed. Not only did he win the first place in the second level Famous, he also won five thousand gold in a bet with Chang Sun Chong, which was half a million taels of silver.
With these five hundred thousand taels of silver, his dock can be completed. Not only the dock, but also the first fief can be repaired to perfection.
If Luo Zhang knew that Zhao Tianhu had beaten him to win five hundred gold, he would go berserk. Damn it, you didn’t call yourself a bettor. No matter what, he should have pressed harder. Five hundred gold is too little. It costs one thousand gold, but if you win, it will be ten thousand gold!
It's a pity that Luo Zhang is in the competition arena and has no idea what's going on outside.
When the news that Luo Zhang won the first place in the second stage spread outside, I don’t know how many people’s jaws dropped. They couldn’t enter to watch. I don’t know what happened, but Luo Zhang actually got the second place. This It's really unbelievable. ,
You know, there are many people who are more powerful than Luo Zhang. Changsun Chong, Yu Wenyi, Duguhong, Yuchi Baolin, etc. are all stronger than Luo Zhang. How can they lose to Luo Zhang?
Compared with others who were dejected, yelling and jumping around, Zhao Tianhu could be said to be smiling. He had beaten Luo Zhang by five hundred gold. If Luo Zhang could sing all the way, then he could get five thousand gold and five hundred thousand. Two pieces of silver, I'm afraid it would make me laugh out of my dreams.
The third level is Battle Formation Riding. As you can tell from the name, this level tests riding skills. Adding the word "Battle Formation" means that it is much more difficult than ordinary riding skills.
While Luo Zhang and others were resting, the entire competition ground was also being renovated. Sharpened wooden thorns as tall as a person were lifted up, and pits were excavated on site...
Luo Zhang sat in the resting place and watched all this, his eyes showing some strange meanings. He felt that this scene looked familiar.
Isn't this just a horse show jumping event? It's very similar to some equestrian competitions in the West. The only difference is that they use railings. Here they use sharpened wooden spikes tied together. If the railings are knocked down, it'll be fine. But this sharpening If the wooden thorns were touched, the horse beneath him would be disemboweled.
Not to mention those pits, horses and people will be injured if they fall into them. This is the meaning of the word battle formation.
Anything can happen on the battlefield. You have to rush into the enemy's camp at any time to attack the enemy. What if you can't do battle formation riding? If you go up there, you are courting death.
Compared with Luo Zhang's calmness, Yu Wenyi and Wei Yi's expressions were not so good-looking. Although they had known that there would be battle formation riding skills, they did not expect that this battle formation riding skills would be like this. Their riding skills In ordinary riding skills, he is considered to be top-notch, but if these obstacles are added, it will not be the case.
This was why the veteran generals had so much praise for Yuchi Baolin before and looked down upon their show-off.
Compared with Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, Li Huairen, Duguhong, and Hei Te Changzhi from a family of military generals, although this level is a bit troublesome, it is not that scary. After all, their family members have trained them and are relatively familiar with it. of.
In the stands, a group of veterans looked at the constantly improving obstacles below and started discussing.
"My son will definitely come out on top this time!" Yuchi Jingde said confidently.
"Hmph! Your son came out on top? I thought my son could win!" Cheng Yaojin said naturally unconvinced.
"Although Chu Mo is good, he is still a little worse than my son!" Yuchi Jingde chuckled.
"I think Duguhong has a chance!"
"Then Changsun Chong is not bad at this level!"
"In that case, isn't Luo Zhang also very good?"
Hearing someone talking about Luo Zhang, everyone stopped talking and looked at the person who spoke, their brows raised involuntarily.
Qin Qiong?
Only then did they remember that Qin Qiong was Luo Zhang's uncle. Although you were the uncle, if you didn't speak up for your son Qin Huaiyu, how could you speak up for Luo Zhang?
"Brother Qin, Luo Zhang's equestrian skills are indeed good, but have you ever seen him use his battle formation riding skills?" Yuchi Jingde asked.
"No!" Qin Qiong, a bachelor, admitted that he didn't know.
"That's it. I admit that in the previous level of Luo Zhang, the man followed the horse and the horse followed the heart. He was very powerful, but compared to the battle formation riding skills, I think he was still a little behind.
Qin Qiong shook his head and said: "Don't tell me that you don't know. People follow horses, and horses follow people's hearts. Are you afraid of some obstacles if you can do this? You can connect with the horse's mind. Will he not be able to pass this level? You guys? Ah, I understand speaking for your own children, but don’t tell lies with your eyes open. Then Changsun Chong is not bad? There is no comparison with Luo Zhang!"
As soon as Qin Qiong's words came out, Changsun Wuji's face suddenly darkened. Just now, the person who said Changsun Chong was good was his, but now Qin Qiong directly said that the person was telling lies with his eyes open. This was a slap in his face.
Do you ever talk like that? After all, everyone is an official in the same court, so we all need to have face. Do you want to break up with me like this?
Everyone at first didn't know what Qin Qiong meant, but now if they don't understand, don't get involved in officialdom. It's obvious that Qin Qiong is going for Changsun Wuji and has nothing to do with them.
Even Yuchi Jingde, who had just spoken, shut up, not to mention Cheng Yaojin, who was trying to protect himself.
"You will know soon if there is any comparability! There is no point in bickering now that we are in such a position!" Changsun Wuji said in a calm tone, as if he was full of confidence in Changsun Chong.
"Hahaha, Mr. Changsun is really confident. Your son made a bet with my nephew before, so how about we make a bet now?" Qin Qiong said with a smile.
"Bet? What kind of bet do you want to make?" Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect Qin Qiong to stand up for Luo Zhang. You know, since Qin Qiong's health has not been well, she has been staying at home to recuperate most of the time. , rarely come out, let alone ask about outside affairs, even go to court. What happened today? Are you actually fighting with yourself?
Qin Qiong touched his beard and said with a smile: "If your son bets five thousand gold with my nephew and wins, we don't have to be so tacky. I will bet you the fiefdom fifty miles outside the city in Xinghuafang, Chang'an." Zhaizi, what do you think?"
"Wow!"
"Is Lao Qin crazy? He actually bet that fiefdom with Changsun Wuji?"
"That fiefdom is one of the best places around Chang'an. What did he think?"
"You can't say that. Changsun Wuji's Xinghuafang house is also worth a lot of money. It covers an area of a hundred acres and the architectural decoration inside is top-notch. The land price of that house alone is three thousand gold. Not to mention that many of the decorations inside were made of golden silk wood shipped from the middle of Shu. If it were to be sold, it would be impossible to buy it without ten thousand gold, so Lao Qin would use that fiefdom to bet against Changsun Wuji. No loss at all!”
"That's true. I didn't expect Lao Qin to be so generous. Could it be that he has so much confidence in Luo Zhang?"
Changsun Wuji heard the comments from the people around him and narrowed his eyes to look at Qin Qiong. He really couldn't figure out why Qin Qiong was like having a chicken blood today. She actually went against him and even bet against him. The stakes were such. So big.
That house was given to the eldest grandson's family by Emperor Gaozu, and it was considered the best house for their eldest grandson's family in Chang'an City. Although most of the eldest grandson's family lived in Yongxingfang, close to the imperial city, he visited that house from time to time. Will stay temporarily.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the house is an inheritance of their eldest grandson's family. It is a house that can be passed down to the family.
The fiefdom outside Qin Qiong's city was also entrusted to him during the Emperor Gaozu's time. It was also a fertile fiefdom and a treasure that could be passed down to the family.
If it really happened, no one would take advantage of the other.
But Changsun Wuji hesitated. He had lost five thousand gold before, which made him almost vomit blood. Now he still bets. This time the bet is even bigger.
Although he has confidence in his son, Luo Zhang is too evil. Who knows how good his battle formation riding skills are?
If this kid pulls something wrong again and he wins the first prize, won't he lose another heirloom house?
"What? Don't you dare to gamble? If you don't dare to gamble, just say it. After all, we are officials in the same dynasty, and I will still give you this face!" Qin Qiong said jokingly.
